Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Julio Castro

this guy could really help me VS L on the big league level now. But this would limit his playing time, thus hurting his development - plus I'd like to potentially send him back down at the end of the year. anyone have any thoughts on this?

I currently hold the 5 seed at the ASG, but i could contend for the division and even land the two seed.

Depends on how much of an improvement he is on your current vL option.

If you think he can help you take a playoff spot, I'd do it.  He has 301 AB.   With his DUR, you're probably going to get 500 AB in the minors.   If you can get him more than 100 in the bigs(keeping in mind the extra 18 games), I see no irreparable harm being done to his development.  But you start his arb/option clock.  And he will make 343k next season.

couple of questions, he's limited to   1b, LF and possible RF,though no ideal, and perhaps DH, didn't check to see which league you were in.  As said above, what are your current vL options at those places?  Those are typically premium offensive positions, so he may not fit in above your current player who may be "ok" vs lefties, but much better vs right handed relievers late in the game.

If he can help you out looking at that, then call him up and get him 30+ starts.   His vR & batting eye have improved a total of 1 point each thru the ST and 3 regular season check points.  That's 4 opportunities to see an increase in his skills, and he didn't show any in those areas (though he improved each step in vL and contact), so I have to question how much improvement he has in those areas.
